You Need to Be Available

Lots of people will say that they believe in God, but few really get to know Him. Lots of people say they are a Christian but have never sold out to Jesus. To be a Christian requires actions like being what God asks you to be, and you’ll not understand this unless you decide to put many other things aside.

There is a price to being a true follower of Christ, and one big one is being available for God’s purposes. God doesn’t just create mankind so you can be born, then live any way you believe you should, then die and get to go to heaven without any commitment to the things of God.

Some think just being a good person is pretty much all that is required. But where do you find that in the Bible? No, a life surrendered to Jesus is where it happens, and to live that kind of a life means you make yourself available to service in God’s kingdom work.

Sometimes what you are asked to do, you won’t always like or understand, but God is looking for obedience to His Son. Sometimes God will set up a situation that you had very little, if anything, to do with to use your life to help a situation with another.

There will be times when God will ask you to sacrifice your time or many other things- life, comfort or money- at personal cost to you.

The question will always be answered by you being willing to be made available to fit where needed.
